New Hotels to Open at Saudi's Red Sea Project
Red Sea Global, the developer behind the Red Sea Project, has announced that different hotel brands have been developed in this huge Saudi Arabian project.
The Red Sea Project encompasses three key destinations: The Red Sea, AMAALA, and Thuwal. The Red Sea area is designed to be a luxury ecotourism destination, boasting pristine islands and rich biodiversity. AMAALA focuses on wellness and cultural experiences, offering luxurious resorts that blend with the natural environment. Thuwal serves as a hub for marine exploration and sustainable development, featuring marine research centers and community-focused amenities. Each destination highlights sustainability and luxury, aiming to transform the region into a world-class tourism hub.
The Red Sea Project’s first phase remains on schedule, featuring a total of 16 hotels set to offer 3,000 hotel rooms across 5 islands and 2 inland sites. In total, it spans 28,000 square kilometers on Saudi Arabia’s west coast.
The Red Sea Project is being developed as an exquisite ultra-luxury destination. Once complete, it will offer visitors the exclusive opportunity to explore a unique and diverse region of the world, including experiences for nature lovers, outdoor adventurers, cultural explorers, and wellness seekers. With more than 200 km of untouched coastline, an archipelago of more than 90 unspoiled islands, dormant volcanoes, rich nature, marine habitats, and ancient archaeological sites, the destination will set new standards in sustainable development and further position Saudi Arabia on the global tourism map.
The Red Sea Project's first 3 luxury resorts have officially opened: The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, Six Senses Southern Dunes, and Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. These resorts set the stage for an unparalleled experience in luxury ecotourism, featuring world-class amenities and a strong focus on sustainability.
